Manchester / Hybrid (2-3 days onsite)
Up to £60,000 + bonus + private healthcare
We’re working with a PE-backed consumer platform currently rebuilding their internal engineering capability after historically relying on outsourced development teams.
The business operates at scale (millions of users across the UK) and they’re now building cross-functional product squads internally as they modernise both their platform and engineering culture.
This isn’t a “sit in a corner and maintain legacy code” type role.
It’s a genuine opportunity to join a business in the middle of a large-scale technology transformation where engineering standards, product thinking and modern development practices are becoming central to how they operate.
The stack:
* C#/.NET Core
* React/TypeScript
* Node.js
* Azure
* CI/CD/DevOps
* PHP/Laravel (legacy estate currently being modernised)
You’ll be joining one of their UK product squads working alongside a Tech Lead, Senior Engineer, QA, Product Manager and UX Designer.
The role will split between contributing to the modern platform whilst also helping support and gradually modernise parts of the existing PHP estate as they continue bringing capability in-house.
What they’re looking for:
* Around 3+ years commercial software engineering experience
* Good experience with .NET backend development
* PHP/ React / TypeScript exposure
* Someone who enjoys product engineering rather than ticket-factory delivery
* Engineers who care about code quality, collaboration and improving systems properly
* Curiosity around AI-assisted development and modern engineering tooling
What makes this genuinely interesting:
* Direct access to CTO and senior leadership
* Opportunity to shape engineering standards as the function grows
* Strong progression opportunities into senior level roles
* Modern product squads with meaningful ownership
* Fast-moving environment without heavy corporate process
* Engineering transformation already underway rather than “talked about”
The business is Manchester based with hybrid working (typically 2-3 days onsite).
Salary is realistically up to £60,000 depending on experience alongside bonus, private healthcare and additional benefits
